Create a media query that targets all devices when the viewport width is 1020px or less. Inside the media query, select

@media (max-width:1020px) { .main-header { background: tomato; color: white; } }

Not working...?

Your code works for me. Could you post the rest of your code and files?

Are other styles in the same file being applied successfully?

Are you overriding these styles with something more specific elsewhere?

Hey Rydavim,

Thanks for the fast response. I have a feeling there is something wrong with the program as I simply copied someone elses code (exactly the same as mine) and for some reason it worked.

This is the second time this has happened to me! Very annoying when i spend minutes feeling idiotic for potentially missing a colon somewhere!

Hey Terence, figured it out, due to the fact that i stumbled upon. It worked for me when i typed a blank between max-width and the value, as following:

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
    .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

Hope it works, keep me posted! Cheers T!

Hi Terence, might this work?

@media all and (max-width:1020px) {
 .main-header { 
background: tomato; 
color: white; } 
}

or

@media screen and (max-width:1020px) {
 .main-header { 
background: tomato; 
color: white; } 
}

Also there is an excerpt about the all expression on mdn

Keep me posted about the progress, best T!

I believe this is a bug, as the answer is accepted when you put a space between 'max-width:' and '1020px'....but it works without that space and should be an acceptable answer. Thanks tobart for figuring that out!

I know I'm replying a bit late and someone already answered, but the correct one was

@media (max-width: 1020px) { .main-header { background-color: tomato; color: white; } }

with a space between: width: and 1
